George H.W. Bush-"Write me a letter about ways you can help us achieve our goals..." |

He said that DIRECTLY to students-it wasn't on a worksheet that teachers could decide whether or not to give out. He directly circumvented the parents AND teachers and tried to brainwash students with his administration's RW/Marxist/Communist agenda, indoctrinating them like Kim Jung Il! And there was no outrage from any parents or media. Only a few Congressmen complained that he was using taxpayers' money for political purposes. What's up with THAT?!

11. While we're on shrub, he told students to send a dollar to kids in Afghanistan... |
|
talk about pushing one's agenda. What if parents didn't want their kids hearing about the war and how to help?

18. They did so after the speech. |
|
Unlike the Obama speech, in 1991 most of the controversy came after, not before, the president's school appearance. The day after Bush spoke, the Washington Post published a front-page story suggesting the speech was carefully staged for the president's political benefit.
This would have been in the run-up to the 1992 presidential election.

the Dems. complained AFTER the speech to the kids and it was basically about using taxpayers' money-not "indoctrinating our children" and "brainwashing them with socialist propaganda." There was nobody telling parents to be frightened and to demand their schools don't show it.
